Do rural people eat fruits and vegetables less often than urban people ?

According to the papers, fruit and vegetable intake may vary between Indonesia’s rural and urban locations. According to Oktavia (2019), adolescents in urban regions eat fewer vegetables, while those in rural areas ate fewer fruits. According to Hermina (2016), both in rural and urban areas of Indonesia, teenage consumption of fruits and vegetables is poor. According to Xavier (2014), teenage students who lived in rural regions had a higher frequency of low natural fruit juice consumption, whereas those who lived in urban areas had a higher prevalence of daily soda drink consumption. The diet may suffer, nevertheless, if urban regions provide more options that compete with food intake for household income, according to Chernichovsky (1985).

Overall, the findings imply that fruit and vegetable intake may differ across Indonesia’s rural and urban areas, albeit the causes for these variations are not totally evident.
